Questions about EGO battery use.

[seannery]

I read somewhere that the battery will hold more charges if it isn't allowed to completely drain often. Can anyone verify this? Also how many charges should an EGO battery last for? Finally is it okay to leave the battery in the charger after the light goes green? Does this affect battery performance?

Any help would be appreciated.

Lithium Ion batts are very forgiving and have no "battery memory." It doesn't matter whether you charge them before they run out or not.

Well here's a few tidbits from Battery U.

Generally speaking, batteries live longer if treated in a gentle manner. High charge voltages, excessive charge rate and extreme load conditions will have a negative effect and shorten the battery life.

high discharge rates also contribute the extra wear and tear.

This helps explain why using LR atties will probably shorten your eGo's longevity. It also infers that a casual vaper's battery will probably outlast that of a chain vaper.

As far as your other question.

Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm

how long before being replaced do the bateries usually last?

Does that mean once the charger goes green I should remove the battery?

I let mine charge overnight and take them off in the morning. It shouldn't hurt them if you don't take them off right after the light turns green. What WillyB posted pertains to using a low resistance atty with an eGo batt.
